This could be controversial, but when hiring and I see anyone that has multiple parallel jobs, it is an instant reject. Maybe this could be it? This sentiment is shared by many other persons I talked, and come from bad experience in the past.
“reject” implies an active action. Instead, I would simply ignore the resume and focus on other candidates.
There’s also the fact that some, if not all, of the jobs listed in this gentleman’s work history seem to be short-term stints of 1-2 years. While this is quite common in the American tech industry, it’s still a red flag.
I can’t help but wonder what drives tech workers to switch jobs so frequently throughout their careers. Keep in mind that I come from Japan, where the culture is that you join a company for life. For many years, I believed the only justification for this contrasting approach in America was that tech professionals are highly aggressive about negotiating their salaries, leading them to move between companies as soon as they secure a better deal. It makes sense, considering that we’re all essentially selling our time to companies that make significantly more money by selling the products we create.
However, it still feels a bit strange … 文化の違う

Check the Who is hiring? thread from yesterday (234 points, 295 comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48747976
And perhaps also post in the "who wants to be hired" thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48747975 - though I've personally had less luck there

Unless it was intentional using a sloppy AI generated logo with the word PordfolIIo and generally Claude-esque UI for a designer immediately sets us off on the wrong path to credibility.
fyi work history link on your front page leads to nowhere
I'll just throw it out there, but I'm also interested in donations. If anyone's feeling generous,get in touch!
